@Jennifer @RickiTarr Us old folks - I'm 73 - grew up in the last polio generation. Two of my classmates & our best man had it - only Gary escaped relatively unharmed. Tom spent a year in an iron lung & Donna's deformed hip necessitated a Caesarean section during childbirth. The fear was pervasive and there was parental rejoicing when vaccines were announced. Most of us soaked up respect for vaccines along with the vaccination. I'm current on EVERYTHING. Have you had your shingles shots yet?
